MILES or SILK RIBBON
Almost Enough Manufactures Yearly In
Paterson to GirdIe the Earth.


An enormous length Of silk ribbon is man
ufactured In Passaic county N. j.. yearly. In
the city OF Paterson alone during the past
month the silk manufacturers have used up
3O5.625 ribbon labels, and as 1t Is only an aver
age month that would mako 3.667.500 labels
in year. Each Label Is wound around block
containing ten yards OF ribbon. which would
mako 36.675000 yards a year made in Paterson
alone This is 110.025.0O0 feet; and in no.
O25.OOO feet there are.or little less than 90 73I
miles. This would reach from Washington to
Java and back. 1t Is two and q half times the
distance to Canton. China. three times the dis
lance to the Cape Of Good Hope, and seven
times across the ocean from New York to Eng
land.
Paterson manufactures three quarters of all
the ribbons made In this country. About one
tenth as much more Is imported. As consider
able quantity Is exported 1t would be impos-
sible to estimate how much is consumed In
America, but a careful calculation would per-
hars make 1t about 10000 miles year. or CON
siderable more than enough to put u silken
belt around tho earth.
Tho output OF broad silk In yards is about
one-tenth that Of tho ribbons IN this country,
and the product In silk handkerchiefs about
one-tenth more. The value runs up into tho
millions annually. Directly or Indirectly the
silk manufacture in America gives employ
ment to about 65.000 people,

LIQUOR DEALERS AND HORSE RACING.
A Brewer's 0pi.ion OF tho saioen Keepers
who Think thex Know About Merses.


A well-known brewer who sat smoking q
fragrant Havana In his ofilce one afternoon q
day or two ago stopped pulling the weed, and
exclaimed with startling abruptness:
Tho newspapers don't seem to have got on
10 tho racing craze that hae broken out with
Inexampled vlrulence among the liquor deal
ers Of town. Why, It means ruin II II keeps
agolng in this delirious stylc.'
How so7" inquired the brewers visitor as
he lelsurcly duafred some beer.
why. found during the last few months
that customers " mine who used to pay their
bills promptly don't pay at all now, and keep
putting me of. Az thoy sold as much becr as
ever, set out to find why they were delln-

Tho brewer np turned to his hooks. md exb,b.
tied paRo aftor page OF unpaid accounts. to
prove the extent OF the craze he had described.
Then his feelings got the better OF him again,
what folly ali this sort Of thing isl II. is
natural for man to admire horses, and to like
racing but what on earth does he want to 70
oyerboard in such fashion forP Why. II some
OF these foolish betters were to take. one-quar-
ter OF the money. they lose In an unlucky fort
night, they could buy as fine trotter as any
one could wish to sit bohind get y splendid rig
to 20 with 1t. and still have enough left to keep
the animal for months. And Il they would go
out for an afternoon spin on the road with the
trotter, instead Of going down to the race
tracks, they would come back with a splendid
appetite. and find plenty OF money behind the
bar instead Of coming back from the track
cleaned out and too disguised to be able to eat
anything. BAIL 1t makes me tired"
Then the big brewer who doesn't bet hitched
UP his own fleet thoroughbred and went out for
a spln on the Boulevard. The next afternoon the
man who heard the brewer thus vigorously eS-
press his sentiments happened to visit Jerome
Park with q party who wanted to see some Of
the big racing as non-betting spectators. A
great crowd swarmed around the big bunch Of
forward with feverish excitement. with rolls Of
greenbacks In their hands and eagerly bet on
their favortes.
DO you know any OF these men 2" the brew
er's friend asked Of veteran on tho turf who
was was ghiios.9phieally. watching the scene hs

Know them?" he exclaimed. II think 1
ought to. They're here day after day. betting
like mad. Sixty per cent. Of that gesticulating
crowd is made up of New York liquor dealers.
Over forty per cent. Of them will lie badly nip
know all about horse racing. but they're as big
o lot Of simpletons as used to be when had
the same idea Nearly all OF them are playing
friendly tips. the most delusive Of all pointers,
and they seem to DO determined to keep at 1t
Just as long as they have money to sink"
